Removing Mesh Duplicates

When using imported meshed or you have edited the mesh manually, it can often occur that the mesh contains duplicate elements.

  1. Select the model mesh using one of the following workflows:
    • In the 3D view, select the relevant mesh part.
    • In the model tree, select the relevant mesh part.
  2. On the Mesh tab, in the Repair group, click the  Remove duplicates icon.
    If duplicate elements have the same label, CADFEKO deletes all but one.

If the duplicate elements have different labels, you need to specify which element to delete. The duplicate elements are displayed on the Remove duplicate mesh elements dialog. For each set of duplicates, the element with its label highest on this list is retained and all others are deleted.

  1. Press Ctrl and drag the numbers in the left-hand column to change the order of the elements.
  2. Press OK to re-order the elements and to close the dialog.
